Yeah, mine was the other one he said shipped. I'm afraid that it did not, but I'm waiting to see what Hotshot ends up saying. Looks like we have several people who are going to be without blasters. And you've had some extra bad luck, echo. So if anyone knows where we can get some good ESB blasters, please let us know. I have a con in two and a half weeks and you should see the blaster I've been using - it's a shame.

Yeah, I missed my blaster for a troop last week and I have a major con this Friday and no blaster...I could even use the money instead at this point...bummer!!!

I would tell you I could get you blasters but you wouldnt get them by friday, and only half of the greebles are done to make them esb. The scope and mounts are not ready.

I created a blaster with a rubber barrel and rubber stock, with hard plastic bracket and body, and its pretty indestructible. Shabad has one with the rubber components, and you can really drop it from a house and the only thing you might break is the trigger guard. (Which I have in rubber).

I can see about putting together a limited run, at a discount for anyone in this run to try to aleviate the pain to both them and hotshot.

Hotshot if you want to send me details on whats gone wrong here, maybe I can help you and if its parts, arrage to get you some webley copies.

It become of problem of time, money, and everything else that can go wrong on a run. It's time to just walk away from it and get everyone their cash as fast as possible. There's plenty of other guys here that can poffer a better product at a better price. Besides being a costly pain in the butt, this has been a serious pride killer . . .so it's time to clean the studio, sell some stuff off, and take a short break. I do have one small project in mind, but am not going to jump on it until I get some low pressure down time. On that note, refunds have started going out in the order they were paid.

Thanks...so did you get the blasters you sent me and Fettmonger back in the mail yet? What's the latest with the tracking #'s on our blasters?

I have absolutley no clue what happened to them . . .I can't exactly take responsibilty for them once they leave my hands.

That's what tracking is for . . . and since they come up as incorrect locations and year old delivery dates . . .I'm out of luck there.

Even better, is to get my shipping costs and insurance . . .I need delivery conformation to their arrival addresses, not just and arrival. . .

So you can understand how I'm just slightly fed up with this whole scenario.
Not to mention the gallons . . .literally . .gallons of supllies that have been completly wasted. Even better, I'm sitting on boxes, packing materials, paint, support rod, screws, rifle mounts, greeblie parts . .and on and on . . .

So let me just ask this little favor, let me rest. Everyone will be refunded as quickly as possible (as long as I get some buyers and not just tire kickers), there are plenty of other sellers selling rifles, and plenty of guys selling greeblies. So please . . .no more PMs about any of that stuff.

Sucks for everyone who has been waiting for so long.. I did ask for a refund after the first cancellation of the run...the fact that through the whole thing I never saw a single photo of an actual gun after being promised several times and given dates that photos would go up...Kind of gave me a bad feeling about the whole deal. Glad to see Hotshot is still in contact and sending out refunds though.. thanks.

Totally agree with ya' Jackpot. I had the same feeling but just keep thinking because it was the TDH this guy was gonna come through. I have had nothing but outstanding experiences here (on this site) until now. I'm very disappointed. Hotshot, let's hope you at least come through on the refunds. I've learned a valuable lesson here.

Admin, have you been tracking this thread (the date this whole thing started, the repeated broken promises and failed deliveries, the amount of time our money has been tied up, etc, etc)??

Agree with u too Scooter. I have a lot of faith for the people here on TDH - they are an awesome community. And I stuck with the guy trying to be a stand up TDH'er as well. Right now I don't even know if I'm getting a refund or not. Broken promises and unanswered questions after trying my best to encourage the guy that we were with him until the bitter end didn't really get me anywhere but here, with my *** hands in the air. I just hope to hear from Hotshot soon to know what's going on and when a refund may be on it's way. What's really disappointing is that his ROTJ rifles turned out so well. I just don't know what could have went so horribly wrong. I should have just asked for my refund when he gave up the first time. Lesson learned.

Guys, I'm still here . .refunds are going out at a steady pace; 7 of the 15 so far.
Again, sorry the run didn't work out. I've made the decision walk away from it at this point and leave it at that. Suck for everyone involved, including me . . .so please try and be sensitive. I am clearly not out to screw over anyone.
Maybe I'll get another shot at it, but it looks like this will be done for now.

Did anyone get their refunds today. I have tried to lay low and be as respectful to Hotshot as I can, but I would at least like a PM or something stating when more refunds are to be expected. Just need to know when I might have a few bucks to put towards another blaster somewhere.

'Grifter' and 'RP Mcmurphy' are the next in line for their refunds. I'm just waiting on all the moeny transfer tumblers to click into place. I did send an email to each of you two about it. If I get conformation on the transfers today, I'll be sending along both of your refunds.
